Automated Audio Captioning is an emerging research area [1]} which aims to describe in textual form, the events taking place in the foreground and background of an audio clip. Automated Audio Captioning is the amalgamation of both Audio Processing and Natural Language Processing research, much like Automated Speech Recognition. However, unlike Automated Speech Recognition, Automated Audio Captioning does not require an alignment between the source audio and target text sequence. Furthermore, Automated Audio Captioning requires the model to detect both high level events in the background and the more intricate details that occur in shorter time-frames in the foreground.
